Suzanne Mescan of VASONT SYSTEMS discusses how component content management solutions (CCMS) differs from traditional CMS. Component content management stores content at the topic or sub-topic level, which is ideal for technical communications. This allows a chunk of "documentation" to be authored one time and used multiple times throughout publications, saving time and cost in translation and other areas.

Steve Walker discusses how there is a talent shortage of content creators who are experienced in creating structured content. Walker maintains that recent software development trends have made it easier to new talent to "come up to speed" in creating structured content. He cites Adobe tools as a particularly good example of "starting you in structure" and maintaining structure as central through the entire publishing cycle.

Interviews with thought leaders at Adobe Day and in the Adobe booth at the STC Summit 2013 in Atlanta. Significant trends covered range from content strategies to visions of the future landscape of tech comm.

In this STC/Adobe interview, Paul Wlodarczyk maintains that you should be passionate about your audience. Think about what your readers are trying to. Are they trying to sell something or are they trying to save lives? You need to know the ROI of what you create from the user's perspective.

In this STC/Adobe interview, Sara O'Keefe maintains that your search for a solution should not start with a focus on what tools to select for authoring. You starting point should be determining what type of relevant, business-critical content you need to deliver. Do you need to deliver high quality PDF? Can your users be happy with web and mobile access only? Will your content require a certain type of metadata? How will you manage your content? Once you have answered these questions, then you can qualify and determine which authoring tools will best suit your needs.

In this Adobe/STC interview, Iconlogic's Kevin Siegel expresses a wish list for ePubs: "we are hoping that ePub technology will catch up with the industry. We not only want to take our content out to digital format, but we also want to have interactive content in ePubs to have value add." Kevin maintains that Help authors need to fully embrace HTML5 in order to deliver to multiple platforms.
